#Bahamas, December 14, 2017 – Eleuthera – Operation Rush in Eleuthera saw 10 illegal migrants captured, living on the island without the proper documents to prove that they have legal status within The Bahamas. The report out of Eleuthera comes as there is a warning to residents there to rush to regularize themselves as the December 31, 2017 deadline given by Prime Minister Hubert Minnis looms.
Shema Darling, Chief Immigration Supervisor said the 10 were taken to the Carmichael Road detention center after a successful, Operation Rush which went covered from Blackwood Village in North Eleuthera to Tarpum Bay in South Eleuthera. Five men, four women, and one female child were among the individuals taken into custody for a variety of immigration offences, including illegal entry, overstaying, working without a work permit, possession of fraudulent documents, an outstanding police warrant, as well as harbouring illegal immigrants.
Nine of the immigrants were of Haitian nationality, including a US born minor child, and one of the men was a Jamaican, reported the Eleutheran.
